Post by Ali » 23 Apr 2005 10:03 pm

Just an idea, who would be interested in a trackday at some point during the summer? Anyone got any ideas of where it could be held etc?

I'd be interested mate!!! Dunno where tho mate! Don't oulton park and brands hatch do track days? Or what about a day down at Santa Pod? Get all of V3M down? Like 1400 verses 1400's and so on! Then winner of each group takes on winners of other groups etc? That would be a laugh!!!
Did u sort out a boss kit after mate? Cuz i have an astrali boss kit if ur interested?

Nah im not going to bother with one now i was only after one because id found a cheap wheel on ebay but didnt get it in the end. I like the santa pod idea with the different engine size races, trouble is we need some more bends in the track to stand a chance against the bigger engines :wink:

Well.. there'd most certainly be interest in this, but whether its possible (manily due to cost) is another matter!

Well the Pod is a good laugh - but something with twisties would be good fun! I've heard Curborough, near Lichfield can be reasonable (similar to Pod prices) for group events.

The pods ok if (like us) your lucky and it was a quiet day, the sight of 10 volvos at the pod caused a few mutterings lol.
And remember, i already out handle the lot of you, and im getting 25/25 ipd bars soon, so bring on the twisty's!!! :mrgreen: Dont the VOC do hillclimb's/sprints? there were musings about this last night in the tbricks chat room.

How much exactly did you pay to get that far? ;) You weren't particularly gaining on me on some exits of MK's lovely roundabouts either :P :wink: Although atleast you weren't suffering from sea sickness....

Git :P The inside lane of an island means a lower exit speed because of tighter cornering!! It's not like you were pulling away from me :P

Count me in for some motorsport hotness. A link-up with the VOC sounds like an interesting idea...

cheers
